About the Arts + Justice Student Grant Program

Arts + Justice Student Grants fund undergraduate and graduate students as they investigate urgent matters around justice issues and the arts. Students may apply for the grant with a creative project related to any number of justice issues including, but not limited to, race equity, environmentalism, mass incarceration, mental health, LGBTQ+ equity, and affordable healthcare. Students may apply as individuals or as part of a team (teams should only submit one application). While we invite projects that span both local and global concern, by both emerging artists and experienced activists, the project should be of an appropriate scope to complete by the end of the 2024-25 academic year.

In addition to the financial support, grantees will meet monthly to workshop their projects and discuss the successes and struggles of their work. Office hours and individual mentorship will also be made available to grantees. Participation in this cohort community allows for peer feedback, collective support, and shared space to workshop projects and discuss best-practices for community-engaged research. Grantees should be prepared to present work-in-progress during at least one meeting.
